Looks pretty normal to me for ships of that era. Wooden masts and natural cordage means you need a lot of rigging to keep things standing.
Comparing these rigs to modern ones with aluminum masts and stainless wire or dyneema rope is very apples to oranges.
Even more so since 97% of modern boats have Bermudan rigs (triangle sails) where as these ships have square sails.
Maybe you want to take another look? It’s not subtle.
